I was taking an early morning walk. A beautiful day had dawned,
cool and crisp, with only a whisper of breeze. I am told it’s revitalizing;
it will do my health much good. But, you see things to sadden you.
Sometimes being early kills you;
sitting on a tree
early bird scans the mowed lawn
for an early worm
I am told too to play it right. Stay safe within your boundary.
Stepping out of bounds can be dangerous. Tread the well-trodden path.
Not to take unnecessary risks;
did everything right
like fish stayed in my waters
got caught and filleted
Life is amazing. It’s an endless maze of dead ends.
It is not simple living a life -- It’s full of misgivings and mishaps.
We couldn’t figure out the purpose of life even after a life-time of living;
like guinea pig wheel
with all the running around
and getting nowhere
I looked at the amazing stone faces of long-forgotten gods of ancient civilizations,
From the Incas, the Aztecs, the Mayans, the Romans, the Greeks, the Persians to
the Egyptians -- they all believed in a continued life in the great beyond;
I picked a stray
stone and chiseled myself a
god; then, I worshiped
~Haibun contest by Scott Thirtyseven
Nostalgic angst…
keeps on gripping my soul
while apprehended by the question:
"Why are we here?"
Yes, I confess that my soul repents
for wasted opportunities and chances I missed
toward functional learning
along healthy vibrant well-being...
Yet flash back scenes
eventually make themselves vivid
while presenting significant persons
though I neglected, but have helped shape
my personhood to become who am I today...
Throwback episodes
now linger while my heart strives
to be conquered with joyful reminiscences
each striving to a show a precious memento
that I am here for a purpose: to be a blessing to others...
Reflecting on catching up-pursuits
I must move on triumphantly
as faith* in the Lord empowers me
for meaningful ministerial path of reaching-out
marked by great encounters beyond mere survival.
*Romans 5:1 “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

~I Just Know It~
( Free Style )
I lift up my praises to Jesus my Savior
And to God my master and creator
The one who gives me life everyday
And that's a fact no one can steal from me
I lift up all my prayers and my thanks
As I worship with my lips His most Blessed name
Because He's done everything entirely right
And like Him there's no one I can begin trusting more
I lift up my hopes and all my faith
In the God of the Holy Bible who lives on
No matter what the world may try to put in my head
I just know that His love and grace enfolds me forever.

-So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
1 Corinthians 13:13(KJV)

John 3:16 (NIV)
-Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.
Proverbs 3:5 (KJV)
- Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer
Romans 12: 12 ( NIV )

God is an epitome of love, service and perfection
Throughout our life, we seek love
We serve our senses, body, family and society willingly
We aim for perfection, to the best of our ability
God is eternal, we act as if we are eternal
This is because our soul is a fragmental part of God,
existing within God
We are souls not body
Out of delusion, we feel we are the body
Live to satisfy needs of our body and that of those around us
Clinging to body, we suffer perpetually
Our life becomes a saga of unending physical and mental pain
Neither body nor this world belongs to us
Both are selfish, trying to fulfill their needs through us
We can never have peace while we are attached to body and world
We need to end our delusion
God has given humans free will and intelligence
so that we may seek and see our soul
understand our true position within God
Go back to Him
To get detached from world and body
To be attached to unknown, unseen is not easy
Ancient Indian scriptures provided a solution
Positive affirmations of truth through powerful mantras
to attain the highest of states in which the individual self
dissolves inseparably in Brahman or God
Prajnanam Brahma - Consciousness is Brahman
Ayam Atma Brahma - This self is Brahman
Tat Tvam Asi - Thou art That or You are one
Aham Brahmasmi - I am Brahman or I am Divine
Chanting of these mantras either during meditation
Or while we go about our daily tasks
helps remove our delusion
~~~
Love all, serve all, treat all with equal respect
All are embodiment of almighty
Loving, serving all is akin to loving service to God
Denounce falsehood, embrace truth
Dedicate your life to the loving service of almighty
It is perfection in action
You become one with God
Realise all are him
Tat Tvam Asi

Corinthians 12
Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.
Romans 12:5
So we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.
John 13:34
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.
Ephesians 5:1
Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children

Hmmm... let's start with the Saxons,
and not forget when they got their groove on.
If it wasn't for the seax, and the -ons,
we wouldn't be friends but talking like the Ottomans, mon.
by Martin Braun

Note: The seax is a long knife, thus a group of people were called Saxons.
Long in the day, the Saxons cross over and dominated 80% of the England portion of the U.K., then combined forces to run out the invading Vikings. Needless to say, the Saxons also drove off the Romans at the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest, thanks to Arminius. And with a coalition of competing empires and the Holy Roman Empire which included Saxony, drove off the Ottoman Empire in the Battle of Vienna. The 90,000 to 300,000 battle in Vienna was certain to fall to the Jihad, but God favored Europe and the world, and the Ottomans were defeated.
~ Let's Thank God (For All) ~
( Tanka )
Let's thank God for all
His presence is always there
Just say a prayer
Praise Him endlessly for all
That He gives us all each day.

The "Mirrored Hourglass" is a poetry form or style created by George L. Ellison
Jupiter reigns over our solar system
His magnificence surrounded by four doting moons
Who wait for his instructions
Like a polished stone,
His majesty is visible to our eye
As he was to the early Greeks and Romans
Jupiter, King of the Milky Way galaxy,
Do you have any sage advice?
Are you infusing our dreams with it?
Your gaseous liquid matter
Keeps you ethereal and secretive
Allowing you to reign in peace, undisturbed by astronauts
Sometimes I wonder if you are the keeper of heaven
Where spirit does not need body?
Where spirit watches us from afar.
Jupiter, oh, Jupiter, your quintessential secretiveness intrigues me!
~ Stay Focus~
(Monchielle)
Don't lose sight but trust God
David fought Goliath
Moses his people led
Samson brought temple down
Jesus multitudes fed
Don't lose sight but trust God
Look what Jesus has done
Stay focus and get prize
When you fall just get up
Jesus can help you rise
Don't lose sight but trust God
Devil wants kill, devour
Always up to his trick
Never stop stay focus
He knows what makes you tick
Don't lose sight but trust God
With Him you can't go wrong
Don't just talk but do walk
Devil send him away
Don't hear more of his talk.

The "Monchielle" is a poetry style created by Jim T. Henriksen.
Why weren't any of the great emperors, or even those of lesser renown, enticed to acquire such a rich piece of land in the East? There aren’t much of historical archives shedding light on the subject, but it is possible that events could unfold in this way – Plutarch could have expounded this legend far more colourfully than your humble servant. A Roman emperor receives an ambassador from one of the eastern countries, who inclines him to conquer the neighbouring land. The Emperor finds the plan reasonable, so during the conversation he decides to invade the eastern lands of the barbarians, in particular to prevent their possible aggression against Rome. However, the problem is that the climate in these lands requires fur garments; otherwise, the valiant Roman legionaries would think only about how to get warm, hence will be unable to fight. Our country, the ambassador reported, are ready to solve this problem, they can sell the Romans excellent fur coats, for a small sum of money. However, the sum seems exorbitant, and the emperor refuses the ambassador. The next day the emperor is informed about the envoy from the barbarians, and he receives the barbarian in his chambers. I am aware of your intentions, my great emperor, says the barbarian, and I am prepared to arrange a deal on fur coats at half the price offered to you, as you can buy the required amount of fur coats directly from us. Although I myself am a barbarian, I have a Roman mentality, my great emperor, and I sincerely wish you to conquer our lands to establish your Roman law and order over there. When I read your laws, I just cried with happiness, how much justice and wisdom they conceive. There is no need to drink wine, just read a page of your laws and I feel groggy with delight. I'm sure all the powerful barbarians will accept your rule without question and praise your wisdom in their prayers. So, shall we make a bargain, great emperor? ‘No!’ followed the cold reply. 'I refuse to make a deal, and I see no point in wasting energy on conquering your lands. Once we conquer you, we will gradually become as conniving, vile, cynical, and vengeful cunnings as you are. That is not the future I want for Greater Rome. So get out, Mr Barbarian. Thank you so much for your wisdom and time, my great emperor, the barbarian says. You’ve given me exactly the answer I expected to hear.
